Positive to rising to a deeper future

Poetry and songs, cannot be divided into

"In all the styles, poetry is the one on the tip of the pyramid for me. It flashes light and makes me particularly excited."

Cheng Yan once said: "Literature and art is a gene." This sentence is used to describe her herself, because in Cheng Yan's story, poetry and romance have never been absent.

Cheng Yan lived with her grandmother since she was a child. In her memory, grandma is a poetic woman. No matter what time, grandma always has elegant and calm manners. If the genetic genes are active, then the grandmother's preaching and body education may be the process of sowing from Cheng Yan's poetic growth. Under the subtlety of grandma, Cheng Yan gradually cultivated his love for classical things and poetry. From Tang poetry to modern poetry, Cheng Ye inadvertently used them to make lyrics.

Cheng Yan loves poetry, in her opinion, poetry is the extreme of language, and poetry and songs are inseparable. Poems are not only sublimated by the emotional thoughts after the end of the composition, but also a major source of her creation. The poem has given her the melody inspiration.

Based on the persistence and emotions of poetry, Cheng Ye has completed many creations that make people like the spring breeze in the past ten years.

For example, her collaboration with poet Mosi's poems "I want to spend time with you", "Then, I embrace you", and the cooperation with musician Rong Qian "Mountain Tea":

, as she uses her perception in her life to a verses, and then her Turn to chant:

今年夏天， Cheng Yan created a album with the theme of Chinese Book of Songs- "Book of Songs".

Since engaging in music creation, I have had a lot of modern poems and have also resonated with a lot of resonance. It is what I have always wanted to compose for the favorite "Book of Songs". Because of love and caution, I moved slowly.

Cheng Ye's selection of the text composed this time comes from the "national style" chapter of the most promoted people in the Book of Songs. Here are the joy of "the son of returning, should be a family" woman, and there are also "no gentlemen, I am sad", and there is a continuous thoughts, "I cast me with wood peaches, report it to Qiong Yao". Friendship, there is also "those who know me, saying that I am worried, I don't know me, what can I ask for me" like a lonely loneliness:

她一如既往The ground is expressed in the most natural melody, and the emotional notes with modern folk rumors re -interpret the simplicity, innocence, and evil in the ancient "Book of Songs".

In terms of Cheng Yan, this album is a testimony of leaving his alma mater for ten years. In the study life of Peking University, a beautiful memory of folk music and classical literature meets the new works.

Only love has never changed

"I did not set a grand plan for myself, but I just hope that I can hand over a work every year. Persist in creating and insist on presenting things that can resonate with my emotional resonance to more people."

As a non -"science class" singer, Cheng Ye's creation is more casual and free. Showing her most natural and authentic feelings, this is the core idea of her creation. When creating, Cheng Yan was not like writing "proposition composition". He told himself in advance to write a sad or happy tune today, but simply recorded emotional fragments -he hummed in small tone music when sadness, when he was happy It flows some simple and bright major, and then slowly complete a complete work.

Calculating from "The Capital Cut the Window of the Qingri", this year is the tenth year of Cheng Ye's maintenance of music creation. Each of her works contains her sincere emotions and feelings, or campus memory, or the plot of the hometown. These are not only a record of immersing life, but also witnessing her growth. The imagination and creativity of the creator also changed with different stages of life. Because of this, Cheng Yan's music always moved forward with her.

Entering the year of standing, Cheng Yan had a new character -mother. The arrival of new life adds great joy and subtle magic to Cheng Yan's life. As a mother, she hopes that the child can work hard to find the nature and love for the world in the same honesty as her.

The road of creation of Cheng Yan is in the final analysis. Because she loves her hometown, she departs from her hometown to the distance, caught inspiration in a bit of life on the road of creation, and always expresses her sincere expression. Because he loves music, Cheng Yan is slowly becoming better and better in terms of creation or singing skills. Although she also doubted and struggled, in the end, her love for music was better than everything, and she lived as what she wanted. Because of love, freshness, poetic, literary and artistic ... these vocabulary is not so much a label, it is a characteristic of her innate and accompanied.

she says:

Love occupies a very important position in creation. Love is the driving force for creation and the driving force for people.

Peking University, courage to pursue me

"Breaking the traditional road and the satisfactory life, choose a small trail, and compete with yourself. This is not a kind of blindness and noble distinction. Instead, he finally starts to be‘ be yourself. ’ ","

In the concentration of the lyrics of this year's graduation season, the "Green Red" written by Lin Xiujin, an alumni of the 04th Chinese Department of Peking University, touched the Yanyuan plot deep in Cheng Ye's heart, especially the last sentence "Bring Three Friends, Lazy Hou" reflects it. A state of freedom and freeness unique to Peking University. Cheng Yan said, three friends, piano, wine, poetry, or pine, bamboo, and plums, these beautiful images made her involuntarily think of the way of Lao Zhuang, and life in "Xiaoyaoyou" can be like a traditional scholar. “知效一官，行比一乡，德合一君，而征一国”的仕途之路，也可如庄子所述，追求自己所理想的真正自由，“至人无己，神人无Gong, saint unknown. " This mood coincides with the spirit of "freedom, compatibility and compatibility" of Peking University. The author Lin Xiujin introduced the creative experience of "Qing Hong":

This garden has carried the changes and parting in 124 years, and has been waiting for unknown, always choosing with people, and therefore become more beautiful. From here, the heroes of the Red Mansions, with the three friends of the year, the song and rain of the girl Cheng Yan. The new Qing Qingzi who started the new journey and learned to gather to gather.

Some lives are large rivers and rivers, with magnificent waves; some of life are streams and tricks. Cheng Yan believed that it belonged to the latter -all the way to walk all the way, singing "poems and far away."

In 2009, Cheng Yan came to the School of Foreign Languages of Peking University to study for a master's degree. In this free starry sky at Peking University, Cheng Ye quickly found his place of glowing and fever. Recalling the life of Peking University, two communities impressed her -Guitar Association and Guoxue Society.

Cheng Yan is in the performance

At that time, Cheng Yan was still a guitar "Little White", but the classic guitar was soft and warm, simple nylon strings, and the rhythm of light and spirit made her feel fascinating. She took her heart to act, and took the initiative to join the Guitar Association and began to learn to play guitar and composition. The experienced and exquisite students in the community provided a lot of help and encouragement. Soon, Cheng Ye mastered and deeply fell in love with this instrument. I went to the grass to sing the piano on the grass with my classmates and host their own small indoor concerts ... These drips are all the treasures in the memory of Cheng Yan Beida.

If the atmosphere of the guitar association is lively and smart, then the Chinese Academy is rich in calm philosophy. The characteristics of the two complement each other and relax. In the Sinology Society, Cheng Yan and everyone relive the classics of Chinese studies, and experience the deep meaning and classic beauty between the lines, which also fully opened her philosophical space. Cheng Yanchang met with his classmates in the crystal clear quiet garden lawn of dewdrops, and read the Book of Songs. The language of simple and simple, and the language of reunion was like a cool morning breeze.

Talking about the feelings at Peking University, Cheng Yan said:

If I haven't reached Peking University, I should have no courage to choose the road of independent musicians. Peking University made me learn more about myself and understand my feelings of art. Therefore, I dare to pursue what I really want.

In 2012, when Cheng Yan was about to graduate and bid farewell to Peking University, she created a fresh and timeless nursery rhymes: "Flowers and trees in front of the court, the path outside the courtyard. The song is called "The Capital of the Qingri". As a summary of college life, she also performed this song on the stage of the top ten singers of Peking University, which is impressive.

Since then, Cheng Yan's music creation is officially launched, and she has firmly chose to become an independent musician. Cheng Yan said that this is largely due to the spiritual core of Peking University's "freedom of thought, compatibility and compatibility".

The original heart is eternal and loves unchanged. In a unique way, Cheng Yan leaves a bright color for life and art in time.
